Left Bend(Not Peyronie's)
by David__0__0, May 03, 1998 12:00AM
My penis bends to the left at two specific places, one at the
very base and another a little further up. This has happened
before but increased after I used a VED. It feels a little
tighter under the skin when erect but other than that it feels
normal. My impotence is characterized by my erections
requiring direct stimulation and subsiding quickly without it.
I do have nocturnal erections. I'm 23 so it seems too early
for Peyronie's disease. Could this be anything else?

Dear David
Thanks for your question.
Peyronie’s can occur at any age. I cannot think of any diseases that cause a leftward bend in more than one place in the shaft of the penis. Corporal disproportion can occur but is usually a continuous curve. The tightness under the skin may be plaques ( scar tissue ). Plaques are typical for Peyronie’s.
We obviously cannot make a diagnosis over the internet, but your curvature and erectile dysfunction in an individual your age should be investigated by a urologist. Polaroid pictures of the penis while erect can be a great help to document the curvature for your doctor.
Hope this has helped. More individualized care is available at the Henry Ford Hospital and its urban campuses by calling (1 800 653 6568). We can also arrange local accommodations through this number if this is your need. Please bring any physicians’ notes and lab test results that you may be able to obtain. These will help us greatly.
